Post by thread:[PIC]: MPLAB 5.5 and Hitech C

I am also running MPLAB 5.5 and Hitech C compiler, and have gone trhough the same problems that you pointed out. The 5.5 version is a little bit buggy, also: when I set more than a couple of breakpoints, the program crashes. Seriously, I am thinking in getting back to 5.4 !! I can't wait to have MPLAB 5.6 ;-) Best regards to all PIC listers Francisco Michael Rigby-Jones wrote: {Quote hidden}>Has anyone come accross any compatiblity problems with the latest verison of >MPLAB (5.5)?

5.5 is written in PASCAL. 16 bit technology written for dos. It has been patched to death to work in windows. Some bugs are still being dealt with. Latest news is that a new 32 bit version is in the works. Probably written in VB.

> > that a new 32 bit version is in the works. Probably written in VB. Almost certain it is VC++. At least that's what I gleaned when talking to the MPLAB 6 development team while at the Master's last summer. I think those of us in the dsPIC classes were the very first non-mChip people to actually use MPLAB 6 and the developers were hanging around to get our feedback.

I'd be quite interested in hearing some of that feedback! :) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

Since every programmer has their own favorite editor [editors are like women, everyone's taste is a bit different... ;-)], I have been asking them for at least 5 years to let us hook any 3rd party editor and use that. At least 2 or 3 other IDE's I use have this feature. No editor that comes with MPLAB will ever match the features and usefulness of CodeRight, Multi-Edit, Visual SlickEdit, or even a shareware editor like UltraEdit32. Even if it did, it wouldn't be the editor you want to use...
